A quote for when it all seems to be too much....

"The days of the years of our lives are few, and swifter than a weaver’s shuttle. Life is a short and fevered rehearsal for a concert we cannot stay to give. Just when we appear to have attained some proficiency we are forced to lay our instruments down. There is simply not time enough to think, to become, to perform what the constitution of our nature indicates we are capable of. How completely satisfying to turn from our limitations to a God who has none. Eternal years lie in His heart. For Him time does not pass, it remains; and those who are in Christ share with Him all the riches of limitless time and endless years." A.W. Tozer, Knowledge of the Holy (New York: Harper, 1961), p. 86.

You will never know how your quote touched my heart and soul.
I am in my years of 70. 4 professional children, 5 grandchildren. A full life. Where has the time gone.
You can read more on my blog.
A healthy lifestyle. Stress in the younger years. Now a spot on my lungs discovered. With the 98 degree temperature outside I just cannot go outside as it leaves me breathless.
Lord is it my age, air quality, heat or the spot.
Blessings to you
